Back in the 1930s the words, “Try it, I use it on the horses,” started Eight Hour Cream on its path to fame and for­tune. Miss Ar­den used to mas­sage the sooth­ing apri­cot­coloured balm into the shins of her beloved race­horses and it soon be­came leg­endary in sta­bles and sa­lons alike. Decades later, El­iz­a­beth Ar­den’s Eight Hour Mir­a­cle Hydrating Mist ($ 43) is a su­per- light ver­sion, packed with an­tiox­i­dants, plant­based nour­ish­ers and vi­ta­mins. Pure Fiji prod­ucts are made from vir­gin co­conut oil, nut ex­tracts and di­vine- smelling botan­i­cals. The brand’s Frangi­pani Infusion Hydrating Body Mist ($ 30) pro­vides a light, mois­tur­is­ing veil to turn you into a walk­ing trop­i­cal ro­mance. With its calm­ing camomile and rose ex­tracts, Aesop’s Im­me­di­ate Mois­ture Fa­cial Hy­drosol ($ 31) will have your com­plex­ion feel­ing soothed and com­fort­able far quicker than its name can trip off your tongue.
